Care Type

Outpatient

A CT scan is ordered to investigate unexplained pain, trauma, suspected internal bleeding, or abnormal findings on other tests, providing detailed cross-sectional images that plain X-rays cannot capture. It's used across nearly every specialty, from evaluating head injuries to detecting tumors, kidney stones, and internal organ damage.

Signs You May Need CT Scan

Unexplained abdominal or chest pain, symptoms after trauma or an accident, persistent headaches with neurological symptoms, or suspected internal injury are common reasons doctors order a CT scan. It's also used when other imaging or physical exams give inconclusive results and more detailed cross-sectional views are needed.

Types of CT Scan

Non-contrast CT scans are used for conditions like kidney stones, head trauma, and bone injuries, while contrast-enhanced CT provides better visualization of blood vessels, tumors, and soft tissue detail. Specialized protocols exist for specific body regions, such as high-resolution CT for the lungs or CT angiography for blood vessels.
